Add OAuth support
You can add OAuth support to chrome extensions. I did it in Github-Omnibox. Any interest in merging projects? I've already incorporated several Github fixes into the extension and was looking to add more.
I'd love to get OAuth working. I played with it for a while but couldn't get my head around it. I would be interested to chat with you about your experience of getting this going with GH-omnibox. Is there a difference in that this project has no background pages to refer back to?
I not keen on merging the projects at this point. I think it is better that extensions are well defined and do a single thing well. The omni-box functionality is quite a different tool to this extension, which is really just a polyfill until GH actually sorts itself out and provides the UI out of the box.
I actually have a few other polyfills installed too and sort of hope that they become built in too.
The trick is to use a background page hack. I will link you to the resource I used tomorrow. On Nov 26, 2013 1:25 AM, "Pete Bacon Darwin" [email protected] wrote:

Great. Thanks - ping me with any specific poly fills that you think would work well in a project together.

This is the lib I used (see the implementation in my app) https://github.com/borismus/oauth2-extensions
As for 'polyfills'. There's a modification where if there exists a gh-pages branch but no project url, one is added automatically to the gh-pages branch io page.
Also, we've incorporated several build / dependency status icons into the side navigation that we want to allow people to customize. It will appropriately change depending on the project type too.
I just figured of coming up with an abstract GithubUpgrades package similar to YouTubeCenter, which built up quite a following.
I also wanted to continue a project I briefly started at an AngularJS/FireBase hackathon to allow you to add metadata to github issues (either through the extension OR through another webpage) such as voting, assigning to clients, or allowing guests to label/tag/whatever. This would essentially turn Github into a full-powered issue tracker.
